The Perfect First Date Makeup

So the hard part is over: you've met someone you fancy. Who knows how, maybe it was fate, maybe it was tinder, but what you do know is tonight's the night you will have your first real date with this dreamiest of dreamies. You're completely ready, you went for a jog this morning you moisturized last night, your girlfriend is going to call you fifteen minutes in to make sure you have an out if you need one, a you've just spent the last three hours gliding through the aisles of Sephora picking out the perfect makeup that will make you feel confident, flawless, and like your very best self.

Let's begin with the eyes, because that's where you decided to splurge. You picked out Burberry’s Rose Pink No. 10 eyeshadow palette; the texture like butter and the color payoff is fantastic. You can create a soft smokey eye effortlessly because the colors blend so well. To finish off the eyes you create a fierce cat eye with Kat Von D’s Tattoo Liner which is the darkest of all the black eyeliners and you top it off with her Immortal Lash Mascara for a look that will last well into the night. And for the most important element of your face, your brows! You have chosen wisely to try out the new Anastasia Brow Definer, and your brows have never been fleekier !

Now for a flawless face, you must start with a flawless base. Benefit’s newest product, the Porefessional Matte Rescue, this will keep your foundation perfect and shine free all night. But to balance the matte primer, we must choose a hydrating foundation, Hourglass Illusion hyaluronic skin tint buffed all over with a beauty blender sponge will lock in the moisture and keep you skin from cracking away like a dying Lord Voldemort. To highlight your cheekbones, you've chosen the holy grail of highlighters, Champagne Pop by Becca Cosmetics.

For a little extra glamour, you put the highlighter on your temple, Cupid's bow, and the tip of your nose in addition to your cheekbones. You'll be a vision in every room you walk in. And for something that will last all night you dab on a little of Becca’s beach tint in “watermelon” on the apples of your cheeks to enhance your natural flush, as if you've got a joke on the tip of your tongue all night long.

As a final touch, you paint your lips with Becca’s Beach Tint Lip Shimmer Soufflé in watermelon to match your blushing cheeks, to give you the perfect kissable pout.
